CSS Drop Down Menu not working properly

**KarenBW** · Mar 27, 2011 02:48

I followed a tutorial on YouTube (YouTube - CSS Horizontal Drop Down Menu - 1 of 2 which worked. I then attempted to add a sub sub menu but I can't get it work properly. None of the sub menus work in IE.

You can see what is happening at Untitled and I have added all the code below.

I would be very grateful for any help.
